The Pin Group - Go To Town (1982)
Released May 1982
New Zealand's Pin Group emerged out of the early '80s Christchurch scene and, with just two stunning singles and one brilliant five-song EP, have become an archetype for nearly all indie bands ever since.
The Pin Group went back into the studio in January 1982 to record their third and final classic release. Featuring an expanded five-piece lineup with Mary Heney on guitar/vocals and Peter Fryer on viola, Go To Town is a work of taut perfection. Showcasing the band's dramatic chiaroscuro textures and arresting lyrics, Long Night and When I Tell You make staggeringly clear how much sonic ground The Pin Group covered in their unfortunately short tenure.
Includes new insert with band photos and liner notes by Liz Harris.
Tracklist:
A1 - Power
A2 - Long Night
B1 - Ambivalence
B2 - When I Tell You
B3 - A Thousand Sins
Bass, Vocals - Ross Humphries
Drums - Peter Stapleton
Guitar, BV - Mary Heney
Guitar, Vocals - Roy Montgomery
Violin - Peter Fryer
